Effects of left-sided stroke: Aphasia and language apraxia Stroke (also known as a cerebrovascular accident or CVA) usually affects one side of the brain. Movement and sensation for one side of the body is controlled by the opposite side of the brain. This means that if your stroke affected the left side of your brain, you will have problems with the right side of your body.Some problems that happen after stroke are more common with stroke on one side of the brain than the other.1  The left side of the brain controls the ability to speak and understand language in most people.ome problems that happen after stroke are more common with stroke on one side of the brain than the other. 1  The left side of the brain controls the ability to speak and understand language in most people.

stroke Just as a heart attack occurs when there is insufficient blood flow to the heart, an ischemic stroke (sometimes called a brain attack) occurs when there is a sudden interruption in blood flow to one or more regions of the brain.rain imaging techniques play an important role in stroke diagnosis, in the evaluation of individuals with stroke for clinical trials, and, to a growing extent, assessment of stroke risk. Several imaging techniques can be used to generate visual slices of the brain or even three-dimensional reconstructions.

Read the Story of a Patient Diagnosed with a Stroke Stroke is an abrupt interruption of constant blood flow to the brain that causes loss of neurological function. The interruption of blood flow can be caused by a blockage, leading to the more common ischemic stroke, or by bleeding in the brain, leading to the more deadly hemorrhagic stroke.

Stroke  In-Depth Report If the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following: When stroke occurs in the brain stem, depending on the severity of the injury, it can affect both sides of the body and may leave someone in a ‘locked-in’ state.he effects of a stroke depend on several factors, including the location of the obstruction and how much brain tissue is affected. However, because one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body, a stroke affecting one side will result in neurological complications on the side of the body it affects.

What Is Stroke? Stroke is a sudden impairment in brain function. One may suffer an inability to speak or speak clearly, walk, or move a limb because blood has stopped flowing to an area of the brain. Usually, this is caused by the blockage, or the rupture, of a blood vessel.

Stroke Stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. They result in part of the brain not functioning properly. Signs and symptoms of a stroke may include an inability to move or feel on one side of the body, problems understanding or speaking, feeling like the world is spinning, or loss of vision to one side. Signs and symptoms often appear soon after

Medical Definition of Cerebrovascular accident Medical Definition of Cerebrovascular accident Our Stroke Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Stroke Cerebrovascular accident: The sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain. A CVA is also referred to as a stroke. Symptoms of a stroke depend on the area of the brain affected. The most common symptom is weakness or paralysis of one side of the body with partial or complete loss of voluntary movement or sensation in a leg or arm.

Slideshow: A Visual Guide to Understanding Stroke 'Mini-Stroke' (TIA). A transient ischemic attack, often called a mini-stroke, is more like a close call. Blood flow is temporarily impaired to part of the brain, causing symptoms similar to an actual stroke. When the blood flows again, the symptoms disappear. A TIA is a warning sign that a stroke may happen soon. It's critical to seek emergency medical help if you think you've had a TIA.

Pepsin If a stroke affects the blood supply to the left-hand side of your brain, this will cause symptoms on the right side of your body. Although stroke commonly results in symptoms on just one side of the body, it’s possible for both sides to be affected. This can happen if the stroke occurs in your brainstem (at the base of your brain).

Stroke Definition and Etiology. A stroke is defined as an acute loss of neurological function due to an abnormal perfusion of brain tissue. Most strokes are ischemic (87%) in nature and commonly result from an arterial obstruction by a thrombus or embolus. Hemorrhagic strokes (13%) are caused by rupture or leak of a blood vessel either within the primary brain tissue or subarachnoid space. This chapter provides a clinical approach to the evaluation and management of stroke, with a focus on ischemic stroke.
